Barbara Allen - the everly brothers[00:00:00]
Twas in the merry month of May[00:00:02]
When flowers were a-bloomin'[00:00:10]
Sweet Willie on his deathbed lay[00:00:18]
For the love of Barbara Allen[00:00:25]
He sent his servant to the town[00:00:33]
The town where she did dwell in[00:00:41]
Saying "Master dear has sent me here[00:00:49]
It remained for Barbara Allen"[00:00:56]
Then slowly slowly she got up[00:01:04]
And slowly she went to him[00:01:12]
And all she said when she got there[00:01:19]
"Young man I think you're dying"[00:01:27]
"Oh don't you remember the other day[00:01:34]
When we were in the tavern [00:01:42]
You drank your health to the ladies there[00:01:50]
And you slighted Barbara Allen"[00:01:57]
He turned his face unto the wall[00:02:05]
He turned his back upon her[00:02:13]
"Adieu Adieu To all my friends[00:02:20]
Be kind to Barbara Allen"[00:02:28]
She looked to the east She looked to the west[00:02:36]
She saw his corpse a-comin'[00:02:43]
"Oh sit him down for me" she cried[00:02:51]
"That I may gaze upon him"[00:02:59]
The more she looked the more she grieved[00:03:07]
She bursted out to cryin'[00:03:14]
Sayin' "pick me up and carry me home[00:03:21]
For I feel like I am dyin'"[00:03:29]
They buried Willie in the old churchyard[00:03:37]
And Barbara in the new one[00:03:44]
From Willie's grave there grew a rose[00:03:52]
From Barbara's a green briar[00:03:59]
They grew and grew to the old church wall[00:04:07]
And could not grow no higher[00:04:15]
And there they died in a true love-knot[00:04:22]
The rosebush and the briar[00:04:30]
